The short film, "The Perfect Stroke", is having its West Coast
premiere after being officially selected for the Los Angeles Brazilian
Film Festival (LABRFF) scheduled for 13 - 17 September, 2015.
"The
Perfect Stroke" is Power Couple Productions' first short film. The
film's stars Gui Agustini and wife Christina Jolie Breza who run the
production company, Power Couple Productions. Agustini has appeared
twice already at the Los Angeles Brazilian Film Festival and co-star,
Christina Jolie Breza will appear for her second time at the festival.
The
story was created when they were a newlywed couple who wanted to
explore the personal passions that they grew up with – for Gui, it was
tennis, and for Christina, horses – and love. They also wanted to have a
story that explored decision making and had an uplifting message.
A
lack of opportunity for quality film roles and scripts was a driving
force behind the couple's desire to write, act in and direct a short
film together. The couple had a hand in every part of the film's
production. Power Couple Productions came into being for 'The Perfect
Stroke' but continues to grow and look for new opportunities in the film
industry such as their selection at the Los Angeles Brazilian Film
Festival this September, 2015.
As Agustini says: "The process of
creating this short-film was extremely exhilarating and stressful at the
same time. We had very little time to put it all together. But we were
very determined and passionate about it; we had tons of help and
support; and we believed it was possible. Our cast members Samuel Umoh,
Harold Clinton Archambault and Jonathon Jugo and the crew played a big
part in making this film a success."
Agustini goes on to say, "It's been one of my personal goals since the creation of the film to have it screened at LABRFF and now this dream has come true."
The
film was shot in Fort Lauderdale and Okeechobee, Florida. – The entire
film, from concept, to script, to fundraising and co-ordinating the cast
and crew was completed in 2 months with another 2 months for editing.
Gui
Agustini says "We are super excited that our film, 'The Perfect
Stroke', was selected at LABRFF 2015. This festival is such an amazing
platform and also a lot of fun. The experiences we've had in the past
have been phenomenal.”
